Halloween Hotfix (1.11.2018)

Today, we're rolling out a hotfix to take care of the most reported issues with the Halloween update released yesterday. We want to thank our community for reporting these issues to us and for staying patient and positive as we fixed them.

In this hotfix we're tweaking the game so it will be easier for players to see in the eternal twilight, while also balancing the loot drops from the Halloween meteors. The T2 doors are also getting fixed.

If it's still too dark for you you can also tweak the following server settings (in game or in an .ini file) to the following values. This will make it less dark:

DayCycleSpeedScale=9.000000

DayTimeSpeedScale=0.10000

NightTimeSpeedScale=10.000000

DawnDuskSpeedScale=5.000000

If you do not wish to participate in the Halloween event, there will be a build available on our Testlive[forums.funcom.com] branch without the Halloween content, but otherwise identical to the current live version.

If you switch branches and play single-player, you might want to **take a backup copy of your game.db file** to avoid potentially losing your save data.

Server admins might also want to back up their server's game.db file for people to be able to continue with their characters on your server, just in case.

How to find and copy your game.db

Open Steam and go to your library

Right click on Conan Exiles and choose Properties

Find and select the tab marked "Local Files" and click the "Browse Local Files" button. A Windows Explorer folder should now pop up

Go to ConanSandbox --> Saved to find your game.db file

Make a copy of it in an easily accessible place on your computer

Once you've patched to the Testlive branch, simply drop the game.db file you copied before into the Saved folder, replacing what's already there, and you can continue playing as you normally would

Some might not be able to swap the builds or do it in a timely manner. IMHO it should have been the other way... RL and Free loot build available for DL.

The issues besides low light, the length and additional bugs is free loot and character inbalance. Even a few hours of this could wreck a servers economy. I.e., a stone axe level toon has no business looting 90% of the recent loot list.

I.e., server admin on vacation and the swap doesn't happen in a timely manner.

Seriously, I dunno why everyone is complaining, it literally says right in update everyone is commenting on on how to not participate if you don't want to. Like I get it if you're gonna say it's a poorly done event, that's fine, but all the people complaining about how they can't play the game because of it, it's just ridiculous. There was a build right there that you can use to skip it, so why are you complaining?

never they attempt to search real devs?Let trainees made coffee and return at work....

Seriously, i played Ark, i played dark and light, i played other Early games, i played uby games, EA games, little indies games, and never i saw a ridiculous society as funcom....Before this event, i had 9 players on my server. Today, 4 players.And 2 of us talk to return play Ark....Lost 7 / 9 just on one week of event, really good job....

I do hope there will be no future theme patches, this Halloween patch is on for way to long, A day or two would of been enough. I love this game and hope not to have to deal with these kind of patches in the future, maybe make them if you must as an optopn for those who like this kind of thing.
